Review
Wow. Add this to the list of books King’s written where I had to sit down afterwards. What an incredible, emotional ending. King really knows how to write people, and create scenarios where the climax is surprising, but also emotional. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I don’t want to elaborate on exactly what emotions, but needless to say, I was beyond satisfied.

The audiobook production is another stellar job, this time by Michael Kelly. King always gets top of the line narrators, and this was no less the case.

As a side note, it gets a little annoying when he goes on tangents against Christians, but whatever. I’m sorry to see Christians depicted as selfish, hurtful people, but I don’t know what King’s gone through to come to that conclusion. In this book’s case, the pastor who abandoned his daughter because he claimed her son’s disability was punishment from God regarding her infidelity. Okay, sure that’s happened, but it just gets old when King finds ways to insert the worst stereotypes of Christians. This almost ruined what was otherwise one of the best endings I’ve read.
